Native Voices at the Autry continues its cycle of play development with its annual Playwrights Retreat and Festival of New Plays featuring top theater professionals serving as mentors to established and aspiring Native American playwrights. The program greatly increases the field of Native writers and brings greater visibility to Native theater.
Native Voices at the Autry is taking its 2008 production of Diane Glancy's Salvage to participate in Origins, the UK's inaugural festival of First Nations Creative Art. Native Voices is the only U.S. theater company selected to participate along with three others from around the world.
